What's the point with that quite lackluster story in Endwalker?

[KizuyaKatogami]

Who is saying the ancients are the worst thing in the world? The only thing I'm seeing is "don't kill people." I think the ancients got the shit end of the stick with Elpis; I still wouldn't want the rejoinings to occur because that would kill a lot of people that are currently alive. That doesn't mean I value the sundered over the unsundered. I just don't want to sub one genocide for another people to live.

Many people lol. Not in this thread specifically but the other threads trying to rip apart the ancients and find every little thing they did “wrong” to try and justify them being sundered and trying to justify venat’s actions. They think that because they unmade creations they’re horrible people. When in reality the sundered do far worse but none of them comment on that. That’s my entire problem with this. I understand the reasoning behind most of the sundered’s actions, the same i do the ancients. I don’t necessarily condemn either side. But if people are going to start bringing up things that the ancients do and are wrong for doing when the sundered do the same thing and no one comments on it or people don’t classify that as wrong..then i will speak up because like in the other thread i made, there’s this horrible trend in the story of “It’s okay when the main cast does it, but if the antagonists do it it’s bad and wrong.”

Edit: Just an example from someone here as proof.

"As much as I love the characters and the lore around it, I'm not convinced that Amaurot was worth saving. When Hermes describes his colleagues' blatant disregard for non-Amaurotian life yet had no language to express his dissent with it, I couldn't help but feel deeply uncomfortable with the wordless cruelty of whole place. It most certainly was not beautiful. It was high time that the gods learnt to walk."
